Influence Link Up!

Today I am so excited to be linking up with my fellow Influence Conference attendees! I have been looking forward to this since I was commenting on everyone's posts last year saying "I wish I was there!!" Can't believe it's finally almost time to meet all of these incredible ladies who I feel like I already know in real life!

If we haven't already met yet, hello! I'm Amy. 

I'm a southern California girl who most commonly blogs about Jesus, fashion and running, and who only photographs at the highest quality provided by an iPhone. 

Oh, and I cannot wait to meet you!

Speaking of the conference, let's talk about the 

2 things that I will for sure have packed in my bag:

Well, the first 2 items would definitely be my Bible and my journal, but next on the list is my brand spankin' new Erin Condren life planner.

You may have already read all about my obsession yesterday, but in case you missed it, feel free to see more pics and gushing over here. 

Next would be my Sweet Home SB business cards that I made specifically for this occasion!

These bad boys have been ready to go, right in my purse ever since I got them in the mail. You might call that being prepared, but really it's just because I would forget to pack them. 

Kind of like I forgot to put my own name on my business cards. {Feel free to laugh}

But let's be real, it totally looks like I meant to add the personalized touch of a signature. ;)

Next, let's chat about the 2 things that I am most excited for. 

First and foremost is meeting so many of my closest blog friends. All in one place, at one time. I don't think it can get much better than that!

And second would definitely be the learning. Call me a textbook nerd, but I love learning. When you combine that love of learning with learning about Jesus? Well, I'll say it one more time, I don't think it can get much better than that!

Usually, I'm asking time to slow down. But I'm all for the next 2 weeks flying by. 

Happy Tuesday!

Influence Link Up!

Today, I'm so excited to link up with all of the amazing women that I've met through The Influence Network. I have been blown away by how much I have already gotten out of my mere 2 months of membership. God definitely is moving in this group of women. And I am humbled, honored and so very thankful to be a part of it. 

If you're new here from the Network, welcome! 

So happy to have you!

Alrighty, 3 fun facts about me:

1. Give me a microphone and karaoke set, and I will jump on stage and sing. 

No, I don't have a great voice. 

And no, I'm not always great in front of crowds. 

But for whatever reason, karaoke and me go together like a chai tea latte and almond milk. 

2. I'm running my first Color Run this weekend!

And fully intend to look like this by the end:

Lastly, number 3. Falling in love with Jesus has completely and radically changed my life. 

Shocking, right? :)

I love sharing my heart on this here blog. There's nothing I'd rather talk about than our Savior's redeeming love. It's because He removes my shame that I'm able to talk about the serious issues of my heart, such as my battle with an eating disorder, and my heart for purity.

And what is one valuable thing that I've gained from the Network?

My first thought is the amazing community of women that I have met. I am so blessed by these women on a daily basis.

I'd also have to say that the two classes that I've taken have left me with some truly valuable information. I love getting to learn from women who are passionate about living a life for Christ. The two classes that I took were:

Making the Most of your Twenties, taught by Anne who blogs at Modern Mrs. Darcy
And Sharing the Gospel, taught by Jessi who blogs at Naptime Diaries

Both of these classes left me filled to the brim with truth. Truth that has already helped me so much in my walk with the Lord. 

So for that, and for the wonderful friendships that I've formed, I send a huge THANK YOU to The Influence Network!

Hope to meet all of you beautiful ladies at the conference!! :)
